UV Distortion Map in Viewport
If you insist: 

No, unfortunately there is currently no functionality to show the distortion of UV maps in the 3D Viewport as heat maps, like one can do in Modo. The question Is there a way to show distribution of UVs as a heat map? seems to cover all the options for displaying UV stretch in Blender. 

But this seems like something that might be possible to code in Python as an add-on, maybe it would not be very difficult to output this information as vertex paint information. Who knows?.. maybe someone will see this question as a fun Python exercise...
